Youth Support Services

Sahan may help locate job-search information, organize a resume, use a computer, print documents and identify youth employment programs. City of Toronto and Employment Ontario programs have their own age, residency, availability and eligibility rules.

Start with Toronto Youth Job Seekers, Employment Ontario youth services and Building Skills Through Recreation. Confirm the current intake before applying.

For course planning, graduation requirements, school attendance, special education or student supports, begin with the school and the appropriate board service. TDSB and TCDSB publish guidance and student/family support information. Sahan can help locate the right contact but does not replace a school, counsellor or education professional.

Mentorship and positive community activity can support confidence, skills and connection. Use the City of Toronto youth-service directory, recreation programs, libraries and established community organizations. Program availability, age range, screening and registration vary.

Sahan does not currently advertise one-to-one mentorship. Ask about established community programs rather than assuming Sahan assigns a mentor.
